Toothpaste is (almost) entirely safe. Only real danger is fluoride, which needs unlikely amounts to reach toxicity (a kid was hospitalised after eating an entire tube, kinda amounts).
The pea size is the amount required, because that’s how much you need to clean your teeth.
Advertising companies display full-brush coverage to boost sales, and the only thing they’re endangering is your wallet (and the environment due to over production. And your sanity. And other things. But not your health).

What’s metric or imperial got to do with pea-size toothpaste amounts?
